I have had a couple hours to run some tests, so here are the results. As 030theo found out, there are 4 I2C commands which manages the WOL and the power-loss events. As I don't know almost nothing about I2C buses, I tried to figure out some logic based on testing the commands. The tests were running on a fresh 5.2.9 rootfs without any modification/installation. First I typed the commands thby cyraxxx - Debian
Hi, It is running 7/24 but I can access, so I will try. I just wanted to avoid the mentioned things (take off hdds, etc) as I am lazy and if someone already tried, it is easier :D In this case I will do the tests of power outage and report back. The commands can be found in the WOL post which is linked in the first post :) ( https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,27108,91509#msg-91509 )by cyraxxx - Debian
Hi guys, I have had a power outage so I was thinking if it is possible to add the "always power on" mode like the original ZyxelOS does. I found in this topic the following command: /usr/sbin/i2cset -y 0x0 0x0a 0x0a 0x0107 w Am I right if I add this to rc.local the device will automatically turn on when power comes back? Currently I only added the WOL command (/usr/sbin/i2cseby cyraxxx - Debian
Hi, At least I had to install my previously bought 1 Gbit switch :D Until now I used an old one as 100 Mbit was enough for me. But I have 5.6.9 as I left that on the permanent system (based on changelog I decided there is no reason to upgrade 5.6.9->5.7.6, but I can if you want). The relevant dmesg: [ 0.000000] Linux version 5.6.9-mvebu-tld-1 (root@tldDebianVM) (gcc version 7.4.0 (Ubby cyraxxx - Debian
Understood :) Let me know if you need some testing, I got notified at every post of this topic.by cyraxxx - Debian
Quite a history for this box, it wasn't easy to get here as I can see. You are right, UART booting isn't absolutely necessary as it can work without that. And the hardware of this box is quite old, so maybe very few will benefit from this work. However, you can count on me (even if I ugrade when I need a better hardware, I will keep like the NSA310S)by cyraxxx - Debian
Hi, Thanks for explanation and your overall work again. If you need to do some tests in the future, you can tell me (if not that difficult :D ). If I am available I will do that (I can test on NAS326 and NSA310S). Best regards, cyraxxxby cyraxxx - Debian
Okay, I am done succesfully. As I have a working USB boot method, to change it, first I tried with the HDD (C) method with a spare HDD drive - it wasn't working (I think one of my USB ports is dying so useage of the SATA -> USB converter wasn't a great idea :D ) Then I booted to the zyxelOS, setted up the envs for USB booting - it went well. Then from that USB debian setted up thby cyraxxx - Debian
OK, I will do the tests in the forthcoming days and let you know if I am done. A little bit offtopic question: isn't it possible to install the Debian kernel somehow to the nand memory (replacing original kernel1 or kernel2)? It would almost the same as the USB boot, but maybe the NAND is more reliable then a USB drive :)by cyraxxx - Debian
Okay, I will do them, but I have two questions: First: can I modify the setenvs from the running debian system or should I boot to zyxelOS and doing from there? Normally I wouldn't ask that, but you said I need to follow every steps exactly :) Second: Do you want me to do the serial console installation ('A') or just 'B' and 'C'?by cyraxxx - Debian
Hey, I am at home, so ready to follow your instructions :)by cyraxxx - Debian
Of course, if you think that I am capable then I happily say yes :D On this week I am away from the NAS326, but after that I will be at home, and also got some unused spare disks/usb drives, so why not :)by cyraxxx - Debian
Actually that revise would be quite easy, you only need to delete the 4.9 parts in that post (and change the envs' part) :) However in that case the kernel at hdd section would be incomplete as it is not solved after 5.2. Upd.: now I re-read the things to reconstruct why I didn't pay attention for the details as you also said. As a "feedback", I write how I mesed up, maybeby cyraxxx - Debian
Thanks for your infos, it is working now. You were right, I haven't followed exactly, but the problem was that in one article it was talking about 5.2.9 and in an other 4.9.0 :) Also haven't noticed the difference (uImage vs zImage) so I thought why wouldn't I start with 5.2.9...wasn't the brightest idea as a novice :D My current setup (which is working very well) is: 5.by cyraxxx - Debian
Hi again bodhi, After the successful installation of your Debian at NSA310S, I am now trying the same for a NAS326. I tried the zyxelOS fw_setenv methods, didn't worked, so decided to go for the serial console. Created an ext3 drive (4gb, only 1 partition), with "rootfs" label, copied the Debian-5.2.9-mvebu-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2 file on it, after untar made the uImage anby cyraxxx - Debian
Yes, your assumption was right as I wasn't open-eyed enough and didn't know that it could be installed directly on HDD. About your kernel installation question: I simply wanted to boot with that without any installation and then run the netinstaller. It was on a USB-drive with a netinstaller uinitrd and thought that this will work like the other guy's own method (his uImage is tby cyraxxx - Debian
Thanks for your quick reply. I created a serial log, you can find it here: https://pastebin.com/ucq23e5a About the other questions: I installed a 4.5 kernel with a jessie netinstaller successfully, based on the previous' post's link (madadmin). At that time I created the 3 partitions, but now I want to delete the whole partition table as I want a fresh a restart. So I createby cyraxxx - Debian
Hi, First of all, thank you bodhi for your hard work for these devices :) I have an old, unused NSA310S in my gardrobe so I decided to try to install Debian on it. I don't want to use a USB drive for this purpose, so want to install the rootfs on the HDD (plan is to create 3 partitions, ext2 sda1 for kernel, ext4 sda2 for rootfs and swap). Downloaded your last (5.7.1) kernel, put the uby cyraxxx - Debian
